Dear Duncanville High School Collegiate Academy Scholars and Families,

Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year! We are looking forward to a productive partnership with our stakeholders to ensure our children can achieve their highest potential.

I am passionate about education and supporting the academic and socioemotional success of all students. Over the past 15 years, I have educated and led in the capacity of Social Studies and Advanced Placement Teacher, Department Chair, Instructional Coordinator, and Dean of Instruction. In each of these roles, I sought to make connections that support a culture of collaboration and active learning. I believe in providing relevant, engaging instruction coupled with meaningful extracurricular opportunities to support young scholars as they progress through their journey. Ultimately, it is my number one priority at Duncanville’s Collegiate Academy to ensure that all scholars are prepared with the necessary tools to be productive citizens as they write the next chapter of their story.

As principal, you can count on me to be an optimistic risk taker, support new ideas, develop strong relationships, and promote growth. I pledge to be steadfast in my efforts to develop scholars who are self-confident, culturally proficient and strategic, problem-solvers. I am committed to academic excellence and unwavering support of every student. The success of our program is dependent on a team approach and will be evidenced by scholars who are resilient and prepared to excel in all their endeavors. Through student and family engagement as well as targeted professional learning, possibilities have no boundaries! I look forward to continuing longstanding traditions and developing innovative Panther learning experiences.
